Giant’s Ready for Opening Day 2017
The San Francisco Giants are always a playoff contender – but can they be a title contender in 2017? Last season they made it to the playoffs, but bowed out early after being defeated by the soon-to-be world champions Chicago Cubs. And although many see 2017 as a rebuilding year of sorts for the Giants, with 2018 being the year they make a run for the pennant, you can’t count the club out completely.
San Francisco International Beer Festival
BEER.
Although it has been a staple of various civilizations for hundreds (may we even say thousands?) of years, only recently has the world seen an explosion of interest in beer. This interest crosses boundaries of cultures, classes, genders, religions, and almost every other divide created by humans to segregate ourselves from one another. Simply put, beer unites us in a common love. What better place, therefore, than San Francisco, one of the most notoriously love-filled cities in the world, to celebrate beer? This April 8th, from 7:00pm until 10:00pm, the Fort Mason Center’s Festival Pavilion will be the location of the San Francisco International Beer Festival, a can’t-miss event that will draw on breweries from around the world to offer you a one-of-a-kind beer tasting experience.
26th Annual Union Street Spring Celebration and Easter Parade
Looking for a spring festival for the whole family? Then consider the 26th Annual Union Street Spring Celebration and Easter Parade! For almost three decades, this colorful and life-affirming event has drawn families from across the city and beyond to join in one of the most exciting and vibrant of celebrations. Representatives from the many diverse cultures that call San Francisco home will be on hand to add their own unique flavor to this grand event which will include things like:
Spending the Easter Holiday in San Francisco
Planning on spending your Easter holiday in the City by the Bay? If so, in addition to the hundreds of other events, sites and things to do – there’s a whole menu of special Easter-themed activities happening. One event you definitely don’t want to miss is the annual Union Street Spring Celebration and Easter Parade.
50th Annual Northern California Cherry Blossom Festival
Among the many cultures who have come to call San Francisco home, the heritage from Japan is one of the most storied, rich, and colorful. Every year, this fact is celebrated during the annual Northern California Cherry Blossom Festival, when visitors and residents alike gather together in Japantown to enjoy traditional Japanese cooking, crafts, music, dancing, and other magnificent events. This year, the Northern California Cherry Blossom Festival celebrates 50 glorious years of calling San Francisco its home, and to ring in this half-a-century, all the stops have been pulled in the lineup of performers, the booths selling original Japanese wares, crafts, and artworks, and the extravagant parade which kicks the entire festival off to a riotous start.
60th Annual San Francisco International Film Festival
Springtime is when cities across America begin to roll out their red carpets, dim the lights, and begin the celebration of film in the form of festivals that can stretch from an evening to an entire week. Usually, these festivals present movies that have not yet received distribution (which means that you can’t rent them on Amazon, can’t see them at the local AMC, and can’t buy them), movies that might become the year’s Next Big Hit, movies that you might literally never have the chance to see again.
Flavor! Napa Valley
Over the course of the past century, Napa Valley has routinely proven itself to hold as much potential for great wines as anywhere else in the world. In fact, it is now common knowledge that the best wines grown in this fertile California region easily rival the best wines grown throughout Italy and France.
20th Annual Sonoma International Film Festival
Cinema and San Francisco are no strangers to one another. Many of the world’s best and brightest filmmakers, stars, and enthusiasts hail from this great and wonderful city, and many continue to call it home. Perhaps it is the picturesque bay, a great counterpoint to the heat and sand of LA, or perhaps it is simply the rich culture that San Francisco fosters that attracts these movie magicians. Either way, when it comes to film, San Francisco has its finger on the pulse.
